New York Comic Con 2015: Thursday and Friday

I hope ya'll had a nice holiday! I'm back with my second post for my time at NYCC. I hope you enjoy it :)

Thursday

I decided to wear Kagome the first day of the convention since I had already worn her once before at Waku Waku back in August. My commute was a little hectic coming in because of traffic in the George Washington bridge. That's okay, selfie time!

I got to the Javits Center at 11. Which wasn't too bad it was only about an 1 hour after the con opened. I met up with Rae on the walk over. She was killing the game in her Captain America hoodie. It's always such a blast geeking out with her.

The first thing we noticed was the food trucks right outside the Javits. This was the first time since I've been that they've done that. I don't know why they hadn't thought of it before. It really helped with grabbing food as you as you can in or came out.

Walking into NYCC is always so mind blowing because they really go all out. First Rae and I headed to the Artist's Alley to meet up with a few of her friends. Seth Meyer was actually there out in the open. I think he was doing some sort of social experiment and seeing how people would react to him just being there.

The whole NYC we wanted to try Cookie Cat because we love Steven Universe, but the tickets for the Fantasy Food truck would go SO fast we never got to. Tiff did get a recipe for it so that we can make it at home.

There was a remote controlled R2D2 running around and making sounds. Ugh, it was so cute! We rushed over, so Rae could meet one of her idols: the creator of Deadpool. He was really funny and charismtic! She was so adorable while she was meeting him.

We grabbed a corner of Artist Alley that wasn't crowded and took pics of my Kagome cosplay. For some reason I had a few people mistake me for Sailor Jupiter from Sailor Moon which was a little odd lol

Cosplay Amino and Cosplanner App Review

Hello everyone, I hope your summer's wrapping up nicely. I'm still in shock that summer is pretty much over. I feel like it was just June! Time flying by like this makes me happy that I'm no longer in school. I've been taking this time to work my butt off on my New York Comic Con line up. I finally looked down my last cosplay last week^^ I recently found an amazing app called Cosplanner, and it's been helping me stay organized. I also discovered a cool social cosplay app called Cosplay Amino. I figured since I've been enjoying them both, I should share them with you. I hope if you're a cosplayer, you'll find these apps useful!

First up is Cosplanner! This app is currently available for Android and in Apple's App Store. The app has a lot of useful features. You can sort you cosplay by end date, due date, character, and that's just name a few. You also can categorize items by things you need to buy or make.

There's even a space for reference pics and notes. The task feature is awesome because it lets you plan the convention aspect of your cosplay in one place. So rather than having to use a separate calendar to plan out when you'll work on your cosplay or tracking convention details like booking your hotel, you have everything in one piece. Sometimes I have a bad habit of doing things the hard way and writing everything down and then magically losing that sheet of paper. I'm so happy I found this app because it is extremely useful and saves me a lot of time.
